Summary: Great So Far.
Comment: I received the headset as a gift because I had mentioned I was in the market for a new one. I have had just about every brand of headset and several models/styles from each brand. Logitech has many price points for their headsets and in my experience all were complete junk, same goes for Plantronics. With both of those brands I had at least two headsets that were duds straight out of the package, twice in a row from Plantronics. Several models of Cyber Acoustics headsets were comfortable but the mics died after minimal use.
As yet this headset is comfortable, sounds good and the mic is pretty clear. My only issue (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars) is that the inline controls don't have any sort of clip so it just hangs and I can see how that opens it up to inadvertent abuse that could be causing a lot of the issues other reviewers have mentioned. I'm sure if I look around online or in a couple stores I can find some sort of stick-on clip to remedy this issue. As for the headset being heavy or tight on the head... I just don't see (or feel) it. The headset itself and the inline control are extremely lightweight and the fit is perfect, those having issues with fit are most likely underestimating the true girth of their head.

Summary: This is a piece of junk.
Comment: I bought this one on Oct 15. It is already broken( Dec 26). I can't hear anything from it. What a piece of junk. I would rate it negative star but the lowest they have is one star. I called Amazon.com and they told me that it was past return deadline so they would charge me shipping fee and restocking fee to return it even though it is broken. If I bought this from a store, I wouldn't imagine they charge me all these fees. Stay away from this one.

Summary: Heavy as a BRICK
Comment: This headset is the worst thing I have ever seen. I purchased it today, got home, opened the packaging, put it on and well..... it is going back to the store tomorrow. I should have known better, since the packaging felt heavy, but I didn't realize HOW HEAVY this set really is until I put it on my head. The sound also seems muffled, it is not crisp and clear.
Bottom line, it took me all of 2 minutes to realize Microsoft has AGAIN put their name on a piece of junk. This set is SO BAD, if I had gotten it for free, it would go strait into the trash can.
LOOK ELSE WEAR unless HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY is not a problem for your head and neck.

Summary: Excededt my expectations
Comment: I did not know what to expect with this headset. I needed something to use with a Danish language program from Rosetta Stone. A good mic is critical because this program records your response and gives us an actual voice print that compares what you said to the native speaker in the program. The mic picks up my voice accurately and I always get a good voiceprint. The head phones are comfortable and east to keep on for a long period of time. These headphones were a great improvement over the ones that came with the program.

Summary: Works Perfectly with Mac OS X !!
Comment: This headset works perfectly on Mac OS X. I'm running Mac OS 3.9. I read another review here that said it works on Mac OS 4 too. I bought this headset because that was the best review I read for a USB headset that works on Macs.
I just plug this headset in and it works without needing to adjust anything. I use it for Skype all the time. People on the other end of the phone hear me loud and clear and the speakers are great quality.
This is a great buy!
